On Sunday, May 16 2010, CRU will host a dinner celebrating the beers made by the Whistler Brewing Company. Guests will enjoy a five-course dinner menu paired with craft beers for $70.

Established in 1989, the BC-owned Whistler Brewing Company has earned a reputation for producing top-quality ales and lagers. The dinner at CRU will be hosted by Whistler Brewing Company’s President, Bruce Dean. Guests will be introduced to the brewery’s full range of all-natural beers, from the light citrus flavours of summer Weissbier to rich and velvety Black Tusk Ale.
